gippy Posted April 17, 2016 Report Share Posted April 17, 2016 Hows the airflow around the stems? Is the water pumping directly or even splashing on to those spots? Are you able to take pics of everything without the nasty hps glow? Basically the more info you can supply the more accurate a diagnosis will be.

capasmokes Posted April 18, 2016 Author Report Share Posted April 18, 2016 (edited) i think ive worked it out, the feed was maybe going a little to close to the stem, ive found a thread on another site with the same problem and everyones said its a moisture issue probably along with airflow too, the question is how should i treat it? some say hydrogen peroxide after scraping it all back with a blade also might adjust my fan a little lower and ive turned my feeders backwards away from the stem. the stem is also abit lower than the outside of the perlite around the pot which i think is causing this in the first place. edit heres a link if anyone else comes across this problem http://www.thctalk.com/cannabis-forum/showthread.php?55319-How-to-Identify-and-Treat-stem-rot i believe this is the problem, not sure how badly it will effect my plants roots if it spreads Edited April 18, 2016 by capasmokes Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
